Ice Age Water
and Energy

Water and
energy needs to be developed to the utmost. Under Ice Age conditions our
currently used resources will largely vanish with the Ice Age Climate Change.

The colder Sun will produce 80% less precipitation

By this loss, many regions
become deserts, unless water can be brought to them, primarily from the
tropics, drawn directly from the outflow of the Amazon River, the Orinoco
River, the Parana River, and also the Congo River, the world's four largest
tropical rivers in flow volume.

There is enough water
flowing from these four rivers to feed a worldwide water distribution system,
including the World Bridge. The movement of water through arteries floating in
water, in the oceans, requires little effort as no elevation difference need
to be overcome. This type of worldwide water management and distribution
systems become critically important during Ice Age conditions that will be our
future climate from the 2050s onward.

But it takes time to build
the worldwide infrastructures. This vast potential is real. It can be our
lifeline in the coming Ice Age World. But what good is the potential if it
isn't realized, and nothing is build as is presently the case. Only when the
tropics fail to supply the full need of humanity, will seawater desalination
be needed, And for this to be practical, a lot more technological progress is
required.

Energy Forever

Here, the ghost of pure
illusion that has been pursued as real, is nuclear-fusion power. The dream of
harvesting nuclear fusion energy is a dream that will never come true. This is
so, for the simple reason that no principle exists that would make this
possible. It doesn't happen, not anywhere in the universe. It can't happen for
the simple reason that nuclear fusion is an energy consuming process. But who
needs it?

NASA has been able to photograph two electric
plasma bands encircling the Earth, which appear to be a part of the
ionosphere. In short, we are dealing with a cosmically generated energy
resource that appears to be a part of the cosmic system of plasma that powers
our Sun. As such, it can never be depleted. It may well become stronger the
more we draw from it. Till we get there, the molten salt nuclear reactor, will
lift us out of energy poverty. It has the theoretical capacity to deliver the
equivalent energy of burning 50 million tons of coal, with one single ton of
reactor fuel - far in excess of what nuclear-fusion power has envisioned, but
couldn't deliver. The basic reactor design has been sitting on the shelf for
50 years already, with several million tons of fuel sitting unused on the
ground.

With these
resources we will built us a New World and a new industrial revolution, both
with the potential to render the coming Ice Age insignificant.
